A Lot Like Love Is Light Enough to Fly Away and Never Be Missed

Copyright 2007 Ed Bagley A Lot Like Love - 2 Stars (Average) "A Lot Like Love" chronicles the indecision of two young adults who are misguided and muddled in both their careers and love life. They haul off and do nothing with themselves and then wonder why they are not happy. No wonder they are confused about love. Perhaps they represent too many young adults today, bouncing around like a small metal ball in a pinball contest. Small in thought, small in words and small in deeds. Drifting, detached, uncommitted, meaningless and terribly out of touch with themselves and everyone around them. This is Hollywood, of course, and so they do have unplanned sex that is more like buying a bologna sandwich, taking the wrapper off, eating it, throwing the wrapper away, and wondering what's for dinner.

Movie History: If You Thought Titanic Was the Largest Grossing Film in the U. S., Think Again

Copyright 2007 Ed Bagley A lot of moviegoers think that "Titanic" is the largest grossing domestic film of all time, primarily because of its huge popularity as well as topping $600+ million in revenue following its release in 1997.

When adjusted for inflation, the actual moneymaking value of films takes on a new look.

Celebrity Scents: Just A Marketing Gimmick?

You're at the perfume counter and it suddenly dawns on you. What on earth does Elizabeth Taylor or Sarah Jessica Parker or Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez or the unfortunate Brittney Spears know about perfume? Judging by the perfume counter, you'd think they knew a lot. Fragrances by celebrities are big right now (just check out a fashion magazine) and it appears the trend is still on the upswing. So are they good fragrance choices? Some people figure it's just a marketing gambit and walk away. Others would argue that a celebrity would likely only endorse a product they liked, so perhaps it's more like a "seal of approval." And who knows more about glamour than some of the folks who attach their names to perfume bottles?
